Climbing the Ladder

Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV)  -  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

You can be sure that when you find yourself in a deep dark pit God will extend a ladder to you, but you have to be willing to climb out.  Grace is the ladder that reaches from Heaven to sinful man and faith is all you need to climb.  Throughout Scripture God extends an invitation to us “Come unto me”! He calls to the nation of Israel in Isaiah 55:3, “Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.”  Jesus cried out in John 7:37, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.  He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”  No matter how lost you are or how desperate your situation God is not far away.  He has made a way that you might be forgiven, restored, and blessed.  There is a blessing waiting for you today!  It is not to be found in the riches of this world or the treasures of man.  This blessing is found in the service of God.  When we come to the Lord there is rest for our souls.  The storms of this life must cease and the our feet are established on the solid Rock, Christ Jesus.  If you are struggling under the burden of sin and despair, your despair can be turned to hope your sorrow to joy!  Turn your eyes upon Jesus, by faith take hold of His promises and begin to climb today.
